#spectaclesofdecline was an illuminating experience and an extremely impressive demonstration of what virtual symposia can offer. I learned a lot and am grateful to have been a part of it. Big congrats and thanks to its organizers at U Chicago English.
Enjoying @KristinBluemel on Thomas Bewick, “print Empire,” and her upcoming projects in Newcastle. #spectaclesofdecline
Join us (TODAY at 12 CST) for presentations and a discussion on the "Structures of Nostalgia," featuring Prof Magdalena Kay, Prof Kristin Bluemel, and PhD candidate Zehra Kazmi #spectaclesofdecline https://t.co/4iSsaaAI2Q
This was a fantastic event. Struck by how the viral metaphor relates to discourses of empire, terror, & the ‘Second World’, in relation to the fear of ideological replication from without as well as within. And how metaphors have real & material consequences. #SpectaclesOfDecline
Not much time to #LitSciWrite these days due to the newborn, but I’m ogling the amazing programming for next week’s ‘Spectacles of Decline’ conference @uchicagoenglish, including this great-looking roundtable on Pathology and Empire. Looking forward to dropping in.
Elizabeth Outka: We must read for pandemics and learn to see them and use this awareness to write better stories to envision a different way to meet the next outbreak lurching towards us all. #spectaclesofdecline
Imperialist logics and pandemics, in the timely roundtable on Pathology and Empire. #spectaclesofdecline
Had a wonderful time presenting on imperial intimacies for #spectaclesofdecline! Thanks to the organizers for having me.
Santanu Das: What is an archive? Is it a noun or a verb? A system or an attempt? A will to imperial knowledge or a testimony to colonial mess? #spectaclesofdecline
Day 3 of #spectaclesofdecline: concurrent panels on "Art on a Shrinking Island" and "Archives of Decline" + keynote by Santanu Das, who will present some archival materials specially curated for the symposium. Jo McDonagh will respond!
Thrilled to have presented alongside 2 brilliant papers for panel on postwar British identity. And now, a workshop with Jed Esty. An enriching day of conferencing! #spectaclesofdecline
Q from the audience prompts the roundtable to explicitly address the 'patriarchal knowledge forms upheld by people of all genders that underpin empire (British empire, in this case)' #spectaclesofdecline
First time I've sat in on a roundtable discussion with a crying 4 year old on my lap (he ran out of bubbles solution). #spectaclesofdecline #worldscollide
Nasser Mufti: No longer dynamic and youthful, the idea of England is institutionalized by midcentury, and in doing so, loses its vitalism and insight. #spectaclesofdecline
Imperial fantasies and a cat cameo in Nasser Mufti's talk. #spectaclesofdecline
James Hevia: More importantly, perhaps the epistemological practices based as work on science and rationality, made it difficult for the imperial government to openly question those practices. #spectaclesofdecline
Excited to hear Peter Kalliney talk about Doris Lessing's speculative fiction! #spectaclesofdecline
